Without using an Alter Table after the select I don't think it can be done. Set null has no effect. Of course you can use Create cursor, but that really doesn't fit with what you are trying to accomplish here. Even if you attenpt to place the nulls in as values for your select statement you will run into a problem with SQL determining the data type of your fields... So, there you have it.<g>
